Jabber, Inc. Announces Major New Product Releases.

DENVER -- New Releases Provide Rich Development Tools and Features to Extend Presence Information into Other Applications, Improved Usability, and Enhanced Security Features

Dubbed the "King of Flexibility" by InfoWorld Magazine, Jabber, Inc. today announced the pending availability of a new release of Jabber XCP, its flagship messaging and presence platform, and Jabber Messenger, its feature-rich desktop client. Driven by the requirements of Fortune 1000 companies and OEMs, Jabber, Inc. is billing the new releases as a collaboration of the best technical minds in the financial, national security, logistics, manufacturing, technology, telecommunications and health care fields.

"Our customers lead their industries because they continuously push the technology envelope to drive competitive business advantage," said Joe Hildebrand, chief architect for Jabber, Inc. "These two new releases capture the best practices of the most successful and powerful real-time messaging deployments, delivering the tools to extend the advantages of presence into a variety of applications and services and making them easier than ever to use."

"We have been using a beta version of the Jabber XCP 4.0 Developer Extensions for several months," said Yann Gestraud, Engineer for France Telecom R&D. "The new APIs have accelerated our development cycle, spurred a lot of new thinking, and created some very exciting new product opportunities for France Telecom companies."

Jabber XCP Developer Extensions include:

--Software Developer's Kit (SDK) and Application Program Interfaces (APIs): Includes an SDK, APIs, code examples, and other tools to connect with proprietary protocols, adjust business logic, write billing and authorization components, and more.

--Information Broker: Lets Jabber XCP publish real-time, highly changeable information to subscribers, based on their presence, essentially making Jabber XCP 4.0 a real-time information and intelligence clearinghouse. Based on a publish-and-subscribe model, the Information Broker is a scalable content distribution method for delivering rich, real-time information to diverse users and resources.

--Web Services Interface: Integrate Jabber XCP presence and messaging capabilities into other applications using SOAP-based Web Services APIs.

--Presence Mirror: Access users' availability information via a database connection.

Other significant Jabber XCP 4.0 features include:

--Full XMPP Compliance - Jabber XCP 4.0 is the first commercial server to be fully compliant with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-approved Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) for messaging and presence.

--Single Domain Name Support: Allows global enterprises with geographically dispersed Jabber XCP servers to deploy a single domain name (single namespace), reducing performance bottlenecks and providing a seamless way to scale - all transparent to end users.

--Improved Client and Server Security Controls: Jabber XCP 4.0 improves connections to external XMPP servers with SSL encryption and SASL server-to-server authentication. Administrators can create black and white lists to enable or preclude communications with specific servers, and track the traffic volume for each server connection.

--Microsoft ActiveDirectory 2003 Support

Jabber Messenger 3.0

Jabber, Inc. is coupling the release of Jabber XCP 4.0 with a thoroughly re-engineered Windows desktop client, Jabber Messenger 3.0.

"Jabber Messenger 3.0 improves the end-user experience while introducing unprecedented flexibility, and it's all built on an extensible framework for which we'll release SDKs and our first plug-in, for WebEx collaboration, later this year," said Kris Skavish, director of product management for Jabber, Inc.

Significant Jabber Messenger 3.0 features include:

--Internationalization and Localization: Supports extended character sets and localization of text strings to support users around the globe.

--User Customization Options: Allows users to customize display, notification, and other user preferences to suit the way they work.

--User-Friendly Wizards: Users quickly learn most common tasks, such as joining a text conference room, adding a contact, create and edit keyword filters, and manage server connections.

--Accessible Message Histories: Users can more easily retrieve historical messages by viewing message history dates next to the main window, lending context to a current conversation.

--Improved Management of Text Conferencing Rooms: Jabber, Inc. improves its best-of-breed multi-user text conferencing capabilities with user preferences for content filtering, room entry on startup, and more.
